exposition (anuyoga) 19 and that this method which is referred to as the third type of Dravyānuyoga in the Sthānānga was current even in ancient times.
If we examine the Angas with a view to knowing as to whether the material or data for the fundamental four entrances' to the exposition viz. upakrama etc. is found there, we shall find that the term upakrama occurs in the Sthānanga where it means to begin (a work) with appropriate means. Again, therein we find the mention of three types of upakrama, viz. dharmika, adhārmika and miśra or atmopakrama, paro pakrama and ubhayopakrama20. Even in the Anuyogadvāra the term upakrama is employed in the same sense. Again, the Sthânănga's treatment of the four nikṣepas (usages of a particular term), viz náma, etc. differs very slightly from the same found in the Anuyogadvāra. The Sthânăngasūtra employs the term 'ādeśa' in place of 'dravya'. Moreover, it simply points out that the word ' sarva' ('all') means niravašeșa (without any residue) in the context but it does not specifically state that it is according to the bhāvaniksepa that the term 'sarva' is interpreted as meaning
niravasesa.' We gather only this much that the four senses of the term 'sarva' pointed out therein are according to the four well known niksepas.21 There occurs in the Samavāyanga the discussion on the subject-matter of the Drstivāda; at this place, while describing one part-sūtra of the Dęstivāda, some nayas (ways of approach) are mentioned.22 The Sthānanga (sū. 552) mentions all the seven nayas. The Bhagavatīsūtra discusses the nature of a thing from the following view-points (nayas)-dravyárthatā, bhāvārthatā23, avyucchitti, vyucchitti24, dravyārthatā-paryāyārthată, pradeśārthatā, jñānadarśanārthatā, upayogārthatā25, sadbhāva-asadbhāvaparyāya, adeśa26, dravya-kşetra-kāla-bhāva27, guna28, bhava29 and samsthāna30. This testifies to the fact that even at the time of the composition of the Angas the method of discussing the nature of a thing from all the possible view-points was prevalent and this method was considerably developed in the Jaina śruta. In addition to these view-points, those
